CHINESE DEMOCRACY II

UPDATE (OCTOBER 28, 2011): GUNS N' ROSES Reveals New Album Title
Axl Rose and his Guns N' Roses have revealed that the name of their forthcoming new studio album, the follow up to 2008's unsuccessful, Chinese Democracy, will be ... wait for it ... The Legend of The Red Panda. The album is already recorded and was thought to have originally been called Chinese Democracy II and is expected to be released next March/April through Geffen Records.
Its believed that eccentric frontman Rose has sent the album title and tracklisting to all major magazine editors but no actual music to review. Whether this is genuine or just another strange game Rose is playing with the music press remains to be seen. You can check out the tracklisting below. More details on this will be revealed as soon as it becomes available.

UPDATE (NOVEMBER 24, 2011): Tommy Stinson says that there’s "a bunch" of GN'R material written and still waiting to be recorded — "some of it worthy of finishing, some of it probably not" — in addition to 22 songs recorded during the Chinese Democracy process that were not included on the album.

UPDATE (AUGUST 30, 2011): Tommy Stinson says Guns haven't begun working on a follow-up to Chinese Democracy, but still have material left over from the last sessions. "We haven't recorded in a while and I don't see us doing so in the near future."[Link]

UPDATE (MARCH 9, 2011): Bumblefoot confirms there is enough music for another two albums. "There is enough music for another two albums, but these are all 10 year old recordings from the Chinese Democracy sessions. Those songs are not new songs and this current band, this relevant band that contains me and DJ and Richard and Frank on drums, we have yet to get in a studio together and sit down on the floor with guitars and just start writing. We have not done that. The only music that is going to be coming out at this point that I see from GN’R is going to be from 10 years ago with players that have been gone for 5 years and maybe alternative mixes of songs."

UPDATE (FEBRUARY 2, 2011): According to "insider" Mister Saint Laurent (aka MSL), there were plans for a 2-disc reissue of Chinese Democracy, containing "new" artwork and a second disc full of re-mixes - including a version of "Better' with Dj Ashba on guitar - and one "new" song: "Blood in the Water." MSL also offered up a list of "new" song titles: Atlas, Cuban Skies, Goin' Down, Jackie Chan, Light My Fire, Monstrosity, Silk Worms, Soul Monster, The General, Thyme, Tonto. The reissue was originally scheduled for march 29, 2011.

UPDATE (SEPTEMBER 7, 2010): Rumor has it that there are two follow-up albums in various stages of "completion." The first album is "Chinese Democracy II" (not sure what it will actually be called). The second album features material not related to the Chinese Democracy theme. Neither album has a release date.

UPDATE (JUNE 4, 2010): According to "insiders," the record has been turned in and is due out this coming November. It will apparently be titled simply Guns N' Roses. Watch this space for futher developments as they ... develop.

"For now we'll concentrate and keep our focus on this album but I will say I've always thought of it as a double."
-Axl Rose

Since we probably won't have any NEWS regarding videos, tours, singles, lineup changes, interviews, B-sides, appearances etc. etc. etc., I thought NOW would be an approprite time to start speculating about what the tracklist for CHINESE DEMOCRACY II might look like.

Here's a list of songs which are likely to appear on the follow-up to Chinese:

Quick Song
Zodiac
Berlin
Ides of March
Seven
Atlas
Jackie Chan
Soul Monster
The General
Thyme
Going Down

How about a release date? Nevermber?
